Lu Yun did not delay; the B1-class spaceship, the "Wind Chaser," remained quietly moored there.

After several spatial journeys, the familiar Wanhu Star appeared outside the porthole.

The spacecraft docked smoothly in a private berth at the spaceport.

The hatch slid open.

As soon as Lu Yun stepped off the gangway, a loud voice rang out.

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Yun turned his head and looked at him, a smile appearing on his face.

Gao De, with his signature big belly, was waving at him with a big smile.

Beside him stood a chubby-faced little boy, about five or six years old, who was curiously examining the enormous spaceship.

Next to Gaode Maps, Su Chen stood there with a smile.

Beside him was a little girl with pigtails, who was a bit shy and hid behind Su Chen, secretly watching Lu Yun.

Gao De's voice boomed, "Brother Lu, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, my son wouldn't have recognized you."

"Yes, it's been several years since I left," Su Chen said with a smile, his demeanor much more composed than before. "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"We'll talk about it after the New Year." Lu Yun's gaze fell on the two children. "What's going on with you two...?"

"Hey, I'm just taking these two kids to school." Gao De pointed to the public terminal of the spaceport next door, "To Qimingxing, the educational planet in our Hengxing system."

Su Chen added from the side, "There's a 'Qimingxing Spirit Child Academy' on Qimingxing Island, which specializes in discovering and nurturing children with the talent of spiritualists from a young age. We can take them to take a talent test; even if they don't pass, the learning environment there is still good."

"Quick, call him Uncle Lu!" Gao De nudged his son.

The chubby-faced little boy looked up and called out in a clear voice, "Hello, Uncle Lu."

The little girl next to Su Chen also whispered, "Uncle Lu..."

Lu Yun sighed inwardly.

Time flies so fast.

Gao De and Su Chen, their child is already so big.

A warm feeling welled up in Lu Yun's heart, and with a flick of his wrist, two warm jade talismans appeared in his palm.

The jade talisman was entirely emerald green, with an ancient character "陆" imprinted on it using spiritual power, radiating a faint yet warm energy fluctuation.

He casually crafted this in his lava crystal hut in the Earth's core using some materials from Yan Beichen's ring; it can withstand several ordinary attacks.

"Come on, little ones, Uncle has a little gift for you." Lu Yun smiled and squatted down, handing two jade talismans to the two children and helping them hang them around their necks.

"This is a talisman. Wearing it will protect you and keep you safe."

After finishing these tasks, Lu Yun stood up and looked at Gao De and Su Chen.

Lu Yun smiled and asked, "Do you two want to join?"

Gao De immediately waved his hand, his big belly swaying.

"No need, no need, it's fine for the child."

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, "We're two grown men, tough as nails, why would we need amulets?"

Besides, we've been incredibly lucky; nothing's ever happened to us!

Su Chen and Gao De both smiled.

"Then we'll be going now, Brother Lu, let's get together again during the New Year!" Gao De waved his hand.

"Okay, I'll contact you then." Lu Yun nodded.

Watching Gao De and Su Chen lead the two children toward the passageway leading to the public terminal.

Former partners now have their own families and life paths.

Lu Yun did not linger at the spaceport; he went directly to Lina's residence.

Just as they reached the entrance of the main villa, a beautiful figure rushed out of it.

"You're finally back!"

Lina's face was full of surprise, but as soon as she finished speaking, her expression froze.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she pointed at Lu Yun.

"You...you...how did you reach the Constant Star level?"

Lina herself is a third-tier Hengxing level, so she can naturally sense Lu Yun's changes.

Lu Yun smiled, his expression quite natural.

"I've made some money over the years, and I've used it all to improve myself."

"Did you make some money?"

Lina was taken aback at first, then jumped up and clapped her hands, her shock turning into pure ecstasy.

"Great! I knew it!"

She excitedly spun around on the spot, put her hands on her hips, looked at Lu Yun, and her eyes shone.

"Looks like you have great potential, you just lacked resources before. Now it's even better, haha!" She clapped her hands and cheered, appearing extremely happy.

Lu Yun was somewhat puzzled as to why she was so agitated.

Seeing Lu Yun's puzzled look, Lina's smile suddenly faded, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said somewhat shyly, "My family... has arranged for me to marry a direct descendant of a domain lord's family."

She paused, her tone becoming somewhat downcast.

"The banquet will be held today on 'Sky Blue Star'."

As she said this, she raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading and expectation, and looked at Lu Yun.

"So... I'd like to ask you for a favor, to be my partner and come with me."

Lu Yun was taken aback.

Domain Lord Family?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Seeing Lu Yun remain silent, Lina's eyes dimmed, and she pitifully added a sentence.

Please.

Lu Yun looked at her, his mind racing.

I had originally planned to apply to join the "Qianwu Dojo" after the New Year to fully showcase my talent.

Although a domain lord-level power is strong, my current talent is enough to handle it.

Moreover, Lina had shown him kindness and support.

He had to repay this favor.

Looking into her pleading eyes, Lu Yun finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Lina's dimmed eyes instantly lit up, like stars shining in the night.

"That's wonderful!" She was so happy she almost jumped for joy, her face beaming with pure delight.

"Then let's set off quickly!"

……

Sky Blue Star is a bustling commercial planet and an important industrial stronghold of the Cang Clan, a powerful family in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The spaceship the two were traveling in soon arrived at the private spaceport on Blue Star.

The banquet was held in a sky castle suspended 10,000 meters in the air, an extremely luxurious venue.

When Lu Yun and Lina walked side by side into the magnificent banquet hall, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The hall was packed with guests.

Everyone present was a prominent figure in the Tarlan Heng system, or a high-ranking member of a family from a neighboring system.

They exuded a powerful aura, and every gesture they made carried the majesty of those in positions of authority.

At this moment, the gazes of these people, filled with astonishment and confusion, fell upon the unfamiliar black-haired youth beside Lina.

Lina is one of the main characters at today's banquet, but she is arm in arm with a man.

This surprised everyone.

In the main seating area at the very top of the hall, several elders of the Tarlan family were chatting and laughing with several distinguished guests.

When they saw Lina and Lu Yun walking in intimately, the smiles on their faces froze instantly.

Especially the Third Elder, Demon, whose face instantly darkened.

A flash of undisguised anger crossed his cloudy eyes.

Lina felt the pressure from her family elders, but she just took a deep breath and tightened her grip on Lu Yun's arm.

In fact, there is more to this so-called marriage than meets the eye.

It was entirely orchestrated by Damon, the third elder of the Tarran family.

Demon himself is a ninth-level star-level expert and holds a very high position in the family.

However, the true head of the Tarlan family is the cosmic-level patriarch, Tarlan Augustus.

At this moment, the head of the family, Augustus, was sitting in the main seat at the very top of the hall.

Sitting beside him was Cang Yan, a cosmic-level powerhouse from the Cang family.

The two were talking in hushed tones, with faint smiles on their faces.

Demon had always wanted his family to climb up the social ladder to the "Cang Clan" and to increase his own influence within the family.

To this end, he privately reached an agreement with Cang Yan, a universe-level powerhouse from the Cang family.

The agreement stipulated that Lina would marry Cangyan's son.

Today is the birthday banquet of the Cang clan's ancestor, the domain lord.

Madonna's plan was to take advantage of this momentous occasion to make the matter public.

He was going to announce Lina's marriage to the Son of Azure Flame in front of all the guests.

That made the situation a fait accompli.

At the same time, he could also make a good impression in front of the domain lord of the Cang family and many distinguished guests.

In the main area, the smiles on the faces of Tarlan Augustus and Cang Yan instantly froze.

Cang Yan, in particular, immediately darkened his expression.

This incident is tantamount to publicly slapping the Cang family in the face.

Taran Augustus sensed Cangyan's displeasure and quickly whispered, "Brother Cangyan, don't worry, I will handle this matter."

And just then...

On the main seat, the Cang clan lord, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

He stood up, a smile on his face, and spoke loudly.

"It's just a humble birthday banquet, Brother Monte, what brings you here?"

Wow!

The entire hall erupted in uproar.

All the guests stared in shock at the direction of the hall entrance.

This is the domain lord of the Cang clan!

He actually got up to greet me personally?

Who exactly is this person?

While everyone's attention was drawn to that, the Third Elder, Demon, kept his gaze fixed on Lu Yun.

He recognized the black-haired youth.

Madon strode over to the head of the family, Tarran Augustus, and lowered his voice, his tone filled with barely suppressed anger:

"Patriarch, that person's name is Lu Yun, he's just a first-tier weapon refiner who's attached to our family! Lina... she's simply being ridiculous!"

Tarlan Augustus's face darkened further upon hearing this.

A mere weapon refiner dares to disrupt the important affairs of his Tarlan family.

But he also knew that now was not the time to act out.

He just glared at Lina.

Just then.

A loud voice resounded throughout the venue.

"The head of the Black Dragon Mountain division of the Qianwu Dojo, Lord 'Monte', has arrived!"

Wow!

"A shamanic shrine?"

"The head of the Heilongshan district! That's a real big shot!"

"Why is he here? Does the Cang family have that much influence?"

All eyes turned to the entrance of the hall.

Even the Third Elder, Damon, whose face was originally gloomy, and the Patriarch, Tallan Augustus, whose face was displeased, were now filled with shock.

That's a shamanic shrine!

It is a colossal creature that ranks among the top in the entire human realm!

The person in charge of that division holds a position far higher than that of an ordinary domain lord family.

The domain lord of the Cang clan quickly went to greet him.

However, when everyone saw the figure walking in through the door, they were all stunned again.

Two people walked in through the entrance to the hall.

One of them was none other than the legendary Lord of Monte.

But what's even more surprising is that Lord Monte was actually half a body length behind another person.

Everyone was stunned.
